Still dealing with stubborn Achilles pain — even after trying rest, PT, or all the "right" exercises?

You're not alone… and chances are, you might be making one of the most common mistakes that's actually stopping your tendon from healing.

In this special Q&A episode, Dr. Duane Scotti answers your most asked questions about insertional vs. mid-portion Achilles tendonitis, running with pain, heel drops, shoes, recovery timelines, and more.

- Should you stop running completely? - Are heel drops hurting or helping? - How often should you do Achilles exercises? - What's the right way to return to running after a flare-up?

You'll also hear inspiring success stories from real runners like:

  • John (who broke a 30-year injury cycle at age 61),

  • Nupoor (who avoided surgery after 2 years of pain),

  • and Carrie (who returned to running after 13 years off!)

If you're confused, frustrated, or just want to make sure you're doing the right things — this is the episode for you!

🎧 Listen now to finally get clarity on your Achilles recovery plan and take the next step toward pain-free running.
